Format

Debut format

3x3 basketball made its debut in UAAP Season 80 using the group stage format. The elimination round would be divided into two groups of three to four teams each. Each team will play the teams in its group once. The top two teams per group qualify for the semifinals. The higher-seed team of a group faces the lower-seeded team of the other group in one-game semifinals match. The semifinals winners advance to the final, which is also a one-game matchup.[2][3]

Final four format

The tournament currently uses the Final Four format, first implemented on its second year in UAAP Season 81. The tournament begins with a single round-robin elimination, where a team plays the other teams once to determine which teams will qualify to the semifinals. The top four finishers enter the Final Four phase. Semifinals and final stages are played in a single game.
